Crane Safety Techniques: Warning Mechanisms and Crane Training

All cranes equipped with power traveling mechanisms—except for pendant-operated cranes—must be furnished with a warning signal to alert personnel and reduce the risk of accidents. However, crane training, like that provided by Konecranes for operators and service personnel, is often considered the most effective way to reduce accidents—most of which result from operator error.

Warning Device

Except for floor-operated cranes, a gong or other effective warning signal shall be provided for each crane equipped with a power traveling mechanism.
